What Happens During Your Arthroscopic Hip Consultation
We focus on pinpointing the cause of your hip pain and selecting a treatment that matches your anatomy and activity level.
We Start With a Detailed History
You describe when the pain started, what makes it worse, and the activities you want to return to.
We Examine the Joint and Review Imaging
Dr. Shore tests your hip’s range of motion and reviews your X-rays or MRI with you. He identifies what’s causing the pain and explains how it relates to your symptoms.
We Recommend Treatment That Fits Your Goals
Options may include therapy, injections, or arthroscopy. For dysplasia, treatment may include open periacetabular or femoral osteotomy.
We Coordinate Your Recovery
You’ll receive therapy instructions, healing milestones, and a follow-up schedule so you know what to expect at each stage.
Why Consider Hip Arthroscopy in Newport Beach
Hip arthroscopy treats injuries inside the joint without opening it fully. Dr. Shore inserts a camera and specialized instruments through incisions the size of a pencil eraser.
This allows him to repair torn tissue, reshape bone, and remove loose fragments while preserving healthy structures.
The result? Many patients experience less discomfort than with traditional surgery and return to activity within months rather than years.
Some conditions require more than arthroscopy alone. In those cases, Dr. Shore performs open hip preservation or replacement surgery.
Hip Conditions Treated With Arthroscopy
Dr. Shore performs arthroscopic procedures for patients throughout Newport Beach and Orange County. Here are the conditions he treats most often:
Treatment Options for Hip Arthroscopy
Hip arthroscopy allows Dr. Shore to treat problems inside the joint through small incisions while preserving healthy bone and soft tissue.
The specific procedures used depend on your diagnosis, anatomy, and activity goals.
Labral Repair or Reconstruction
Repairs or rebuilds the labrum to restore the hip’s seal and improve stability during movement.
Bone Reshaping
Removes excess bone from the ball or socket to reduce joint pinching and improve range of motion.
Cartilage Procedures
Treats focal cartilage damage to reduce irritation and support smoother joint function.
Loose Body Removal
Removes free bone or cartilage pieces that cause catching, locking, or sudden pain.
Capsular Repair or Tightening
Tightens or repairs the joint capsule to reduce looseness and improve hip control.
